Chapter 6 Scenario Simulation Training

The path of the strong is always fraught with obstacles and thorns. Without training in extreme environments, it is difficult to unleash the potential within. The young man pressed his lips tightly together, with stray hairs falling across his forehead. He stepped into the ghostly shadow steps, swiftly weaving through the rain of blades. The rain of blades seemed to be competing with him, becoming increasingly dense, like raindrops. As far as the eye could see, it was a world of blades.

According to my father, the Ghostly Shadow Stepping technique is divided into three levels: Beginner, Proficient, and Transcendent. At the Beginner level, one possesses agility and speed, capable of creating phantoms. At the Proficient level, one can act at will, moving freely in and out among thousands of troops, unrestrained and liberated.

He finally understood the significance of this scenario simulation training; it was meant to allow him to navigate through a rain of knives

As for the level of being transcendent, it is extremely profound, coming and going without a trace; even if it stands right in front of you, you may not necessarily be able to see it

Lin Chao was filled with confusion when suddenly a loud explosion sounded, and a sharp pain shot through his shoulder

Lin Chao increasingly enjoyed this mysterious space, wishing he could uncover all its secrets at once. However, at that moment, he unexpectedly noticed subtle signs of loosening in the membrane of the second-tier middle grade. Could it be that he was about to advance?

A young man is not rigid; one must learn to be adaptable, and the same applies to cultivation. When he found that the consecutive collapsing punches could not be mastered for a long time, he began to practice the Ghostly Shadow Stealth Steps. In comparison, this profound technique is much easier.

The first one flickered with a faint light, clearly triggered by his inadvertent touch just moments ago. The subsequent ones were all in a gray state, completely unpressable, leaving one to wonder what mechanisms were hidden within. At this moment, a line of small text appeared above.

Father, I truly did not expect that this half-step collapsing fist actually conceals hidden techniques, it is indeed surprising

Ding dong

Lin Chao fell to the ground with a thud, his body twisting as he rolled. With a few soft sounds, a dagger was embedded between his legs, just a few centimeters away from cutting into his genitals

In his eyes flickered a fervent expression; the Celestial-level Profound Technique was something he had never encountered before.

With a crisp sound from the book, the rain of knives vanished, and the swamp along with the vines also disappeared, restoring the scene before him. He was astonished to find that he had no injuries at all, and his clothes were intact.

Lin Chao did not stay in the back garden. After his father passed away, he returned to his room, closed the door securely, and sat cross-legged on the bed, allowing his consciousness to enter that mysterious space once again

Even if he cannot fully comprehend the intricacies of the Continuous Collapse Fist for the time being, he is still capable of competing with Lei Biao. After much contemplation, he believes that this is definitely not due to the effects of the Qi Gathering Pill. The Qi Gathering Pill can only slow down the rate of his profound energy leakage, and it is far from sufficient to elevate him to a higher level.

It seems that the mystery still lies within this gravitational space, where numerous secrets are undoubtedly concealed

He was previously at the upper tier of the second level, but after that inspection, he plummeted to the lower tier of the second level. Therefore, he is very sensitive to the feeling of promotion.

This discovery left Lin Chao ecstatic

He hurriedly grabbed a dagger, cut through the vines, and managed to dodge the dense rain of knives as several fell to the ground

What is simulation training

Hoo hoo

Enter scenario simulation training

Including six basic footwork techniques: stepping forward, side stepping, lunging, and retreating, all subsequent variations are built upon this foundation

Swish swish swish

He realized that if he continued to fail to grasp the intricacies of the chain collapse punch, it would only lead to his own restlessness and agitation

By this time, it can be said that his power has been restored to about half.

This could cost someone their life

It is fundamentally difficult to achieve the consolidation of the second punch within a short period of time

I wipe ... ...

The Lin family, with a tranquil backyard and an expansive martial arts training ground. The young man stood at the edge of the arena, watching his father complete the demonstration of the half-step collapsing fist, feeling quite astonished

One cultivates with mysterious energy, but this cultivation requires blood and life!

With every step Lin Chao took, a gust of wind would follow. ... Charging forward, retreating, sidestepping, gliding ...

Give it to me harder!

At this moment, the number of yellow circles on the ground is increasing, and one might accidentally step on them. Once entangled, the consequences are unimaginable. One must not only evade the rain of knives but also be cautious of the vines underfoot, all while navigating through the muddy swamp. The difficulties and dangers involved are evident.

Lin Chao attempted to reach in, but the resistance of the black mist was considerable, and after several attempts, he was unable to get his hand inside

Cultivating to this level, the Xuan Dan stage serves as a threshold. Upon reaching this point, one has already developed their own understanding of martial arts and is capable of independently creating Xuan techniques

It appears that the mysterious energy within is not inexhaustible and should be used sparingly. As Lin Chao's consciousness stirred, he was about to leave; however, at that moment, he suddenly detected a strange odor emanating from the ground beneath his feet

The young man broke out in a cold sweat, dodging repeatedly, and unconsciously executed the Ghostly Shadow Steps. However, due to his recent training, his skills were not yet refined, and the knife occasionally grazed his body. His clothes were tattered and torn, with numerous cuts on his body, which looked shocking.

The youth's competitive spirit was thoroughly ignited, his gaze resolute, as he trudged through the mud, his body swaying left and right, struggling to navigate. After several days, the youth gradually adapted to this harsh environment

Moreover, the ground beneath one's feet has unknowingly transformed into a muddy swamp

How many punches can the father throw?

At this moment, Lin Xian had also retracted his moves. A rich aura of mysterious energy enveloped him. Lin Xian was at the Xuan Dan stage, commonly referred to as the fourth level of Xuan, making him a top expert in the Xiaoyao County

Crawling and struggling through the mud, resembling a muddy monkey, yet the scars on my body are gradually diminishing

There was simply no answer to be found in this space. Lin Chao had no choice but to give up; he attempted to push the door again, but it remained tightly shut, not budging an inch

It is important to understand that in this world, many children from impoverished families cannot even have enough to eat and have never seen what a profound truth looks like in their entire lives

The Ghostly Shadow Stealth technique has already been mastered; among peers of the same level, his agility is an invincible presence

Hehe... Lin Chao, who was ten steps away, pressed his lips together; his speed and the *illustration* had improved to the point where he could create an afterimage.

Three knives were arranged in a triangular formation, swiftly stabbing downwards, blocking all his avenues of retreat and escape

Swish swish swish

"Too slow, really too slow..." Lin Chao muttered to himself while shaking his head. As time passed little by little, he still could not find the feeling of the consecutive collapsing punches. Lin Chao was not inflexible; he knew how to adapt.

After a single punch, it takes a full half a tea's worth of time to gather strength for the next punch

Looking down, a sharp dagger was plunged into the ground, its hilt buzzing.

Compared to them, Lin Chao felt that he was already very happy. Lin Xian paused for a moment and then said, "If you can throw two consecutive punches before the match, combined with the Ghost Shadow Stealth Step, you will have an additional layer of winning chances"

He held his breath and focused, standing with his legs slightly bent, left foot in front and right foot behind. Only through practice did he realize that this series of consecutive punches was extremely difficult to master. This was because, at the moment the first punch was thrown, it had already gathered all his strength and inner energy.

The young man struggled and rolled inside, falling down only to rise again, sweat mingling with blood, yet his figure stood firm like a javelin

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through, and with a hissing sound, several daggers struck the young man. There was no scream, nor did any blood flow; the young man's figure gradually dissipated, revealing that it was merely a shadow.

It turns out that the Half-Step Collapse Fist is not merely a sudden strike

Understood. I will strive not to disappoint my father, Lin Chao said, tightening his fists. Lin Xian then explained the key points of the chain collapse punch to his son before turning to leave

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the wounds on his body have diminished, and the likelihood of being cut by a knife has also decreased. Vines have begun to grow, yet they struggle to ensnare his feet, as his agility has increased significantly.

Hiss!

That being said, this is already quite good

Thinking of this, he began to reassess the space around him. The rough texture of the surface and the subtle dents seemed no different from last time. However, the observant Lin Chao still noticed some changes; the black color of the wall surface had faded somewhat, not as dark as it had been before. Moreover, upon careful observation, he realized that the gravity within this space had also lessened somewhat

In the mysterious space, the gravity remained exceedingly heavy, making each step arduous, seemingly unaffected by his previous cultivation. What puzzled him was that the mysterious figure did not appear this time. He walked over to the mass of black mist in the corner and called out several times, but there was no response.

Once again, a series of sonic booms erupted. Lin Chao had no time to look; he instinctively dodged, as several daggers grazed his body and plunged into the ground. Taking advantage of this brief respite, he looked up and turned pale.

Dozens of gleaming knives above him lunged toward him

It truly lives up to the name of a scenario simulation, indistinguishable from reality, and is simply a powerful tool for cultivation

Unfortunately, the Lin family only possesses entry-level mystical techniques; in the future, to advance further, one must rely on opportunities

Two vines suddenly emerged from the light circle, swiftly entangling his feet

Since it is so powerful, why is it only a human-level product? Lin Chao asked in confusion

... ...

Moreover, a knife appeared eerily ahead, radiating a cold gleam, caught in an ambush from all sides

Brush brush

The dense knives fall from above I rely on...

The timing was also very precise, striking while the iron was hot, guiding the mysterious energy at the dantian to repeatedly impact the barrier membrane. The barrier membrane of the second tier, middle grade, was covered with spiderweb-like cracks under the repeated collisions of the mysterious energy, and the area of the cracks continued to expand. Finally, with a "pop" sound, the barrier membrane shattered, and the mysterious energy surged forth like a flood that had breached its dam, allowing him to leap into the middle grade tier.

However, even without the possession of a mysterious figure, his cultivation in this gravitational space can still bring him considerable benefits

Lin Xiandao: "Because what you have delivered is merely the first punch. The most formidable is the series of one hundred and eight strikes, said to be the Heavenly Level Profound Technique"

It is likely that one has cultivated oneself, drawing upon the profound energy contained within.

Stepping down, it can reach the knee, and pulling it out is extremely difficult, not to mention having to dodge the rain of knives

Lin Chao's agility became increasingly proficient. However, the torment was far from over; the path of the strong was not easy to traverse. Soon, two yellow circles of light appeared beneath the boy's feet, and at first, he did not react.

He patiently explained to his son that the continuous collapsing fist requires a particularly high level of control over the practitioner's mystical energy. If a martial artist's power is weak, they can only deliver a single strike, making it very difficult to gather the energy for a second punch in a very short time. In a true duel between experts, victory or defeat often occurs in an instant; who will give you the time to gather your mystical energy

Lin Chao was puzzled, recalling that before the shadow had appeared last time, a line of small text had surfaced, stating that the activation of the Star Core had been successful, rewarding ten days of cultivation. Could it be that in order to be possessed by that mysterious person, certain conditions must be met?

Therefore, to execute a series of consecutive punches, one must have a solid foundation of profound energy. The thicker the profound energy, the more times one can strike in succession. I once witnessed a master who, in an instant, delivered a total of twelve punches in a row. That is truly impressive

Upon closer inspection, there is actually a row of buttons arranged next to that mysterious door

How strange, what is this smell? It feels so familiar

The young boy dashed left and right, seemingly tireless, yet his control over his steps was poor, causing him to occasionally bump into the walls. He敏感地察觉到, he had touched a button located at the corner of the wall, and with a sudden "ding," he was startled.

One can also unleash a series of punches, each strike being a devastating blow, leaving the opponent unable to defend themselves. Truly impressive

In this gravitational space, movement is fraught with resistance, and his skeletal muscles feel as if they are being compressed, making progress in cultivation exceedingly slow. Lin Chao practiced repeatedly, tirelessly; although he was young, his temperament in the path of cultivation was remarkably resilient. He swiftly stepped forward with his front foot, followed by a half-step with his back foot, while his left hand pulled back with concern and his right hand thrust forward in a punch.

Just now, he only demonstrated the series of three punches. Lin Chao knew that his father had not fully revealed it. A hint of guilt flashed across Lin Xian's face, "This mysterious technique, our Lin family only possesses the human-level superior version, and at most can only cultivate up to the seventh punch. To continue the cultivation, it will depend on whether we can obtain the subsequent mysterious techniques."
